Hippo

The Hippo is a cargo ship owned by Captain Borkin.

Appearance
The Hippo is a large blimp-like airship that can carry crates and large storage. Its balloons are pink, orange and green, and the chassis of the ship is a dark wood. There is a large staff on the bow, which the Captain is able to sit upon while flying, so long as someone is piloting the ship.

Plot
The Hippo is the main vehicle of transportation that Captain Borkin and Flawkes use to arrive in the archipelago. During their welcome ceremony, the Hippo is accidentally struck by a stray firework, which causes its immediate crash into the ocean, scattering its cargo everywhere.

The Hippo is visible in the water, and Borkin spends his time off screen trying to restore it, as Flawkes solves the puzzles actually necessary to restore it. Despite its explosion, it seems to return to flight soon after restoration.
